While my recent travel pics are in the queue to be downloaded/sorted/posted, I figured I would take the time to update my blog with my recent discovery of lighting and photography. Read along; It will make more sense.
It finally dawned on me that lighting in photography is everything! It can make a bad object look fabulous and vice versa. How can such a simple attribute make such a big difference. So far, I've been going around shooting pictures without lighting equipment and flash. Well, that is all going to change soon as I have become a convert.
This blog depicts the process of creating a teapot using clay as the medium. The first process is throwing the various forms in the potters wheel, followed by attaching them. The pictures were taken with an ordinary point and shoot camera without any flash. Once they are dry, they are bisque fired and following that, glazes are applied before the final firing. The pictures here were taken using a DSLR and a professional lens. Notice, the difference in the object based on the lighting. The series of photos shows the process from start to finish - both the work and the lighting used to photograph the object.
